I was like, 'Hey, Carmelo Anthony should be playing too.' . . . I think I could have helped.
I was in the right place at the right time to get the bucket.
Just the right place at the right time. Some nights are like that. I was able to get in a couple passing lanes and get some picks, but for the most part, it was just being in the right place at the right time.
I take the blame for it. I did a bad job on him.
I think it's what he wants. He knows he's an important option on offense and knows what we expect. I'm sure he doesn't think we've been harsh about it.
I think us sitting out together, watching the Phoenix game, we really both couldn't wait to get back in and help our team. I think it showed that we missed being out there and we wanted to do whatever we could to help the team get a win.
Last year my heart was racing up until the point I got picked. This year I was more confident that after a good year people would recognize me as an All-Star. But getting the nod and being a starter, that means so much.
I will be soon. Hopefully I will be there in 2008 at the Olympics. Hopefully when I get out there one day soon I will get a warm ovation.
I was just doing what we always do and followed it up.
He's a lot stronger. Last year he lost weight and I think that took a toll on him at the end of the year because he didn't have the strength to fall back on.
He's got, like, two suits, ... and they're terrible. I just keep it real with him.
He's got his legs back and he's finishing his plays. He's more active getting deep and we're looking for him and finding him.
His will is unbelievable. You can't play better defense than Gary (Payton) had on him. He can just raise up and jump over you and shoot. You have to tip your hat to a guy like that.
He's getting in better shape. When a big guy like him is out for 18 games, it's like taking what he did in training camp and what he did in the summer and throwing it out the window. He's getting more active on both sides of the floor. He's getting deep and we're finding him now. He's going up strong and finishing.
